Here's the thing: why come and live in a Western country when it is the sharia you wish to live under? Why attend Western universities when you want to live under a backwards, culturally deprived, and misogynistic system of governance?

A Muslim student at York University has refused to course work with women in a study group for "religious reasons" and has "sparked a human rights tug-of-war between a professor and campus administration."

This is not complicated. He should be told to bug off. Instead, he has "sparked" a debate. Worse still, he was granted permission to flout his Islamic misogyny.

What's really interesting is that this is framed as a human rights issue -- not for women, mind you (they have no such equal rights under Islam) -- but a human rights issue for Muslim supremacists. Oxymoronical. It proves yet again how ridiculous, subjective and dangerous these easily manipulated "human rights councils" are. The "Centre for Human Rights weighed in on the side of sharia advocacy "....the OHRC does require accommodations based on religious observances.”

Ending Islamophobia: Can you spare 5 minutes to answer a question?CAIR is asking for your opinion on how to end Islamophobia. Please help us by spending a few minutes answering one survey question. Click here to go to the survey: Ending Islamophobia Question #1.

Hmmm, how to end "islamophobia." First off, stop making it up! It's a bogus narrative about a very real threat.

Second, stop slughtering people in the cause of Islam and waging terror here and abroad.

Third, expunge the Quran of the violent texts and teachings that command holy war (jihad.)

Fourth, institute the golden rule under Islam (which has none). Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Olympic terror fears strike Russia again as six bodies with gunshot wounds are found in bomb-rigged cars

The bodies were discovered in four cars on the outskirts of Pyatigorsk near the Caucasus region where an Islamic insurgency is simmering

Three of the cars were rigged with explosives but only one went off

No one was harmed in the explosion as all the victims had been shot dead

Killings have heightened security concerns for the Sochi Winter Olympics

It follows two suicide bomb attacks which killed 34 people last month

Six men have been found shot dead in four cars abandoned in an area of southern Russia, further heightening security concerns ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The killings were on the outskirts of Pyatigorsk, which like Sochi, lies near the Caucasus region, where an Islamic insurgency is simmering.

Three of the cars had been rigged with explosive devices, but only one of the bombs went off and no one was hurt. The victims had all been shot.

Concerns: The six bodies were discovered on the outskirts of Pyatigorsk which lies near the Caucasus region much like the Olympic Park in Sochi (stock image pictured)

Vladimir Markin, spokesman for Russia’s main investigative agency, said in a statement that Federal Security Service officers had joined the investigation, and that no motive had yet been determined.NTV television reported from the scene that security had been heightened on the nearby border with Kabardino-Balkaria, one of several predominantly Muslim republics in Russia’s Caucasus.

Three men whose bodies were in three of the cars have been identified: Two were taxi drivers and the third assembled furniture for a private businessman, reports said. The men were said to be local residents and drove inexpensive Soviet-model Lada cars.

The killings follow two suicide bomb attacks which killed 34 people in the southern city of Volgograd last month

The three other victims were found late yesterday in a fourth vehicle. An explosive device had been placed next to the car in a metal bucket, but was defused by investigators.

Explosives also had been placed near two of the other cars; one of the devices went off as police approached and the other was defused.

The incident follows two suicide bomb attacks which killed 34 people in the southern city of Volgograd last month.

Why is this even news? If Muslims ("Palestinians") were calling for recognition of the Jewish state, that would be news. If Muslims ("Palestinians") were calling for peace with the Jewish people, that would be news. If Muslims ("Palestinians") were working to expunge Islamic teachings of jihad and the violent texts that call for ethnic cleansing and the slaughter of religious minorities, that would be news.

If not for their Jew-hatred, these people would have no identity.

This is not news. This is what they do. The world sanctioning savagery and the incitement to violence should be news. But it ain't.

Master of Ceremonies: "The Prophet Muhammad said: 'Rome will be conquered.' This is a prophetic hadith. What will be conquered?"

Children in the crowd: "Rome!"

Children in the crowd: "No!"

Master of Ceremonies: "Are we to go to the Arab League and say that the Bukhari and Muslim collections include a hadith about the conquest of Rome? A clean-shaven man would be sitting there, smoking a cigarette, and he would say: 'Brothers, first let's see you get rid of Bashar.' Rome will not be conquered until we have returned to the Koran and to the Sunna." [...]

Islamic Jew-hatred cannot be contained even at a time when religion, politics, etc. have no role. The hatred ingrained in Islam is so elemental, so much a part of the DNA of that vicious ideology, that in America when a newspaper man's son is missing, the "moderate" Muslim Jew-haters go in for the kill.

Any human being with a modicum of decency and humanity would refrain from Jew-bashing and defamation at such a terrible time. But this is a savage. His hate is rivaled only by his size.

Hussein Ibish is a vicious antisemitic predator. Sadly, his views are typical in the Muslim community, where hatred of the Jew and other non-believers is a pillar of Islamic teaching.

Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby's son is missing. A quiet young Jewish Day School student, Caleb Jacoby spent his free time in the library and at synagogue. I have been watching this terrible story unfold. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jacoby family. May Hashem bring their son back to them.

Al Qaeda is thriving in the Middle East and Africa. The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles (Ayn Rand). And Obama has compromised on every basic principle of freedom and defense of liberty. That's why the Middle East has descended into chaos so far and so fast.

Obama say, "Al Qaeda is on the run!"

"Al Qaeda Now Controls More Territory Than Ever In The Middle East," By Peter Bergen and Jennifer Rowland, CNN, (thanks to Midnight Watcher)

“From around Aleppo in western Syria to small areas of Falluja in central Iraq, al Qaeda now controls territory that stretches more than 400 miles across the heart of the Middle East, according to English and Arab language news accounts as well as accounts on jihadist websites.

Indeed, al Qaeda appears to control more territory in the Arab world than it has done at any time in its history.

The focus of al Qaeda’s leaders has always been regime change in the Arab world in order to install Taliban-style regimes. Al Qaeda’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri acknowledged as much in his 2001 autobiography, ‘Knights Under the Banner of the Prophet,’ when he explained that the most important strategic goal of al Qaeda was to seize control of a state, or part of a state, somewhere in the Muslim world, explaining that, ‘without achieving this goal our actions will mean nothing.’

The corpses of 50 beheaded Syrian citizens and several reporters of the Al-Nusra Front have been discovered in Al-Ayoun Hospital after withdrawal of the militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) from the area.

Mohammad Qaranieh known as Seifollah, a reporter affiliated to the Al-Nusra Front, has also been identified among the bodies.

The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

Iraq’s ambassador to Washington says the Obama administration doesn’t fully grasp the consequences of failing to more aggressively combat a surging al Qaeda threat inside his country, pointedly suggesting that President Obama has been less engaged with Baghdad than his predecessor.

“The administration has to have a better understanding of any adverse impact of any delay in provision of support to Iraq,” Ambassador Lukman Faily told The Washington Times in an interview Wednesday. “It cannot afford a whole town or province of Iraq falling to al Qaeda and becoming a safe haven. It’s against the U.S. strategic interest. It’s against the U.S. national security to do that.”

Asked whether the White House could do more to facilitate a tighter relationship with Iraq, Mr. Faily said, “to a certain extent they can. But we are no longer in a period in which we had President Bush, who took ownership of that relationship.”

These reports are daily, and still the cultural, political and media elites blindly and willfully refuse to see what is right before their eyes. It's bloody tiresome and stupid. Another American Muslim convert, another plot to blow up non-Muslims. And taking her 10-year-old son to a jihad training camp to do the same.

Paulin-Ramirez took her 6-year-old son to join a terror cell in Ireland, where he was taught to be a warrior and hate non-Muslims. The boy also endured physical abuse during the four-month stay. A video played in court Wednesday showed him reciting inflammatory verses and thrusting a toy weapon as his mother, laughing, says, "Go attack the kafir."

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Williams said that the defendants sentenced this week exacerbate security fears. "It (also) hurts the Muslim religion she claims to love so much," Williams said of Paulin-Ramirez. "It creates fear. It creates bias."

Even after the trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Williams still doesn't get it. Amazing.

"Colorado woman who married jihadist in Ireland gets 8 years in global terror plot," AP, January 8, 2014

PHILADELPHIA – A Colorado woman who found love and Islam online was sentenced to eight years in prison for supporting the work of her husband, an Algerian terror suspect.

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 35, got a break after helping the FBI investigate the al-Qaida-linked figure and others, including a Pennsylvania woman who called herself "Jihad Jane."

Every American should sue in defense of the First Amendment. It's not about Pamela Geller, it's about America.

Yellow journalists just don't get it. The ill-used clown who penned this piece kicks off the first sentence of his "coverage" with a smear from the seditious communist organization that incites its members to violence, the SPLC. The shooting at the DC headquarters of a Christian organizaton and the attempted targeted assassination of its leadership were incited by the SPLC.

This writer is free to write whatever he wants, but his lie by omission concerning the un-indicted co-conspirator, the Muslim Brotherhood group Hamas-CAIR, is journalistic malpractice. Mitch Perry never mentions the numerous conviction of CAIR leadership, or its role in the Holy Land terror funding operation -- or its support of Hamas.

Publishing insults and ad hominem attacks against me is Perry's idea of journalism. That's how low the state of reportage is -- the gossip in the junior high school girls' bathroom had better cred.

Perry prints the vicious lies of a Hezb'Allah supporter, CAIR's Hassan Shibly, desperately and inanely trying to tie me to Anders Breivik, a madman who testfied that he was inspired by Al Qaeda and Hamas. Breivik's 1,500 page manifesto cited news sources in the footnotes (CNN, NY Times, FOX News and Atlas Shrugs etc. -- that's the extenet of the tie). But these savages use the Nazi template for smear. It worked for them, so Shibly and the rest of this century's nazis think that it will work again. It won't.

Mind you, in the same breath we are laughingly told by these same supremacists that the tens of thousands of jihad attacks since 9/11 have nothing to do with Islam (even though the jihadis quote quranic chapter and verse every time).

Does Perry vet anything?

Does Mitch Perry support honor murders? Does Mitch Perry believe that Muslim girls should not be free to make individual choices and live lives of their choosing? Why is this ad offensive? Almost every one of those girls pictured in our ad (below) lived in the US and Canada, and was murdered because she wanted to lead a more Western life.

Are you good with that, Mr. Perry?

New AFDI ad in our new campaign to launch in Tampa offering real help to Muslims

A former associate publisher of the New York Observer, she is the founder, editor and publisher of the conservative AtlasShrugs.com website and president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), a group that will apparently soon have one of its controversial ads plastered on the side of HART buses cruising through Tampa.

A large crowd of protesters in Afghanistan rallied against U.S. forces, accusing the U.S.-NATO-led coalition of desecrating the Quran, according to media reports.

The crowd was protesting a rumored sacking of a mosque and subsequent desecration of the Quran by coalition forces, formally known as the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

ISAF denied the protesters' allegations against its forces to Breitbart News, saying they were based on Taliban propaganda.

"The Taliban is propagating misinformation regarding an Afghan-led partnered operation in Wardak on 4 January. There is no basis in fact for the allegations," U.S. Lt. Col. Will Griffin told Breitbart News. "While Afghan forces respectfully entered a mosque, coalition forces were not with them and were not near any religious materials during the operation."

"We think some weight should be given to cultural factors," said Lord Drummond Young.

Is it any wonder that I was banned from the UK? The once-great Britain is self-immolating before our very eyes. Note to Judge Drummond: there are no "cultural" considerations when considering beheading.

"Murderers Fazli Rahim and Saima Gul have jail terms cut," BBC, January 7, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A married couple who almost decapitated a man in front of a 12-year-old girl have had their minimum sentences reduced by appeal judges.

Fazli Rahim, 42, and 31-year-old Saima Gul were jailed for life and told to serve at least 23 years for murdering Mohammed Noor in Glasgow in May 2012.

At the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh, Lord Drummond Young ruled that the sentences were too severe.
